Yan Bugui was so angry with the MCA that he was about to explode, and then stormed out of the MCA's house.

As soon as Yan Bugui came out, he saw Qin Huairu's expectant face.

His face flushed instantly. However, after a moment's thought, Yan Bugui waved his hand at Qin Huairu.

"Huai Ru, this Ma Hua is completely unreasonable! I'm the only old man in our courtyard!"

He actually kicked me out, and didn't even let me eat." Yan Bugui felt bitter.

I just wanted to confide in Qin Huairu.

This MCA is absolutely despicable! They could at least have invited me to eat at their house!

There's so much delicious food on your table, and you didn't give me any! How can you two possibly finish it all?! Isn't that a waste?!

Upon hearing Yan Bugui's words, Qin Huairu immediately understood what was going on.

But when he saw Yan Bugui still rambling on and on...

Qin Huairu couldn't hold back any longer. "Get to the point!"

He has the nerve to call himself the only old man in the courtyard? Old man my ass!

Look at your prestige in the courtyard house now, it's not even as high as a watchdog's.

Qin Huairu impatiently interrupted the incessant chatter of Yan Bugui: "Uncle Yan, get to the point, Ma..."

What did Hua say?

"Ah, what's the point? Can't you see what I look like right now?"

"Don't even mention inviting me to stay for a meal, they didn't even give me a sip of water!" Yan Bugui said angrily.

When Qin Huairu heard Yan Bugui say that, she almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Food...

Food. Food, is food all you care about, Yan Bugui?

I want to ask, have you threatened MCA? Does MCA understand the consequences of offending us?

Eating? I think you're just a glutton.

"Uncle Yan, I wanted to ask, did you explain the stakes to MCA just now?"

Qin Huairu suppressed her anger and said, word by word,

I was really stupid to think of cooperating with Yan Bugui.

"Ah, I told you, humph, I know, it's all your fault," Yan Bugui said, feigning sudden realization.

Then he glared at Qin Huairu with immense anger.

Qin Huairu was somewhat bewildered by Yan Bugui's actions.

Has this Yan Laoxi gone mad? It's just a meal, isn't it?

Is it really necessary?

Then Qin Huairu heard Yan Bugui continue, "Qin Huairu, it's all your fault. I remember now..."

When I first went in, MCA was quite polite, but when I told them about the consequences, they immediately turned hostile.

That's why they kicked me out. Qin Huairu, let me tell you, if it weren't for you...

How could I possibly not get a meal at the MCA's house? You owe me a meal, you know that?

Qin Huairu could no longer contain her anger and roared at Yan Bugui, "You old bastard Yan!"

Shut your mouth right now, you're speechless. You're a piece of trash, you owe me a meal.

I think you're just a good-for-nothing. No wonder you've been the third oldest man in the courtyard house for so many years.

So it wasn't because of anything else, it was because you're incompetent, ptooey. "Grandpa Yan," I think we should call you "Yan the Rice Bucket" from now on.

Yan Bugui, who prided himself on being a cultured man, was completely taken aback by Qin Huairu's words.

"Aaaaah, you widow! How dare you talk to me like that!" But when Yan Bugui's eyes turned red...

Just as he was about to hurl insults at Qin Huairu, he suddenly noticed Yi Zhonghai standing behind her.

Yan Bugui was startled. Yi Zhonghai's little affair with Widow Qin...

You know perfectly well how much you hate him. Fine, now you have your lover to help you.

"You just wait," he could only roar in helpless rage, "Qin Huairu, what happened today..."

I've got it. You just wait.

After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he slunk away.

Qin Huairu spat twice at Yan Bugui's retreating figure, thinking, "What an incompetent good-for-nothing."

Seeing Qin Huairu like this, Yi Zhonghai quickly comforted her, "Huairu, it's alright, don't worry."

"Isn't it just MCA? I think MCA members are the type who respond better to soft words than hard ones, unlike you..."

Yi Zhonghai whispered a few words in Qin Huairu's ear.

Qin Huairu felt disgusted when she heard Yi Zhonghai say that.

As expected, in Yi Zhonghai's eyes, he was just a tool. He didn't care about him at all.

But since things have already come to this, there's no other way.

Qin Huairu straightened her clothes, then quietly walked to Ma Hua's door.

"Knock knock knock. MCA brothers, open the door, I have something to tell you."

Qin Huairu put on a coquettish tone and whispered into Ma Hua's room.

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's voice from outside the door, Ma Hua immediately covered Qin Jingru's mouth with his hand.

He whispered in Qin Jingru's ear, "Don't say anything for a while, just keep standing there."

Seeing Qin Jingru nod, Ma Hua then walked towards the door.

Thanks to Yan Bugui's foresight, the MCA did not fully open the doors.

Instead, he stood in front of the door to prevent Qin Huairu from barging in.

Seeing Ma Hua's reaction, Qin Huairu felt even more reassured about Yi Zhonghai's plan.

“MCA, I was wrong just now, I shouldn’t have said that.”

"I've come here to apologize to you," Qin Huairu said, her voice both alluring and pitiful.

Ma Hua frowned. What was wrong with Qin Huairu? She seemed like a completely different person.

Qin Huairu wasn't angry when Ma Hua didn't reply, and continued, "Brother Ma Hua,"

I know it was my fault, but you have to understand me.

You know our Jia family isn't well-off; I'm just trying to make a living.

"As for my poor cousin, don't worry, I'll definitely help you," Qin Huairu said with a hint of smugness.
